Walk Cycles

If you are trying to learn how to make a natural looking walk cycle, Joeri points us to this site, Biomotion Lab. Biomotion Lab has created a real time walk cycle model where you can adjust the various parameters such as male / female; heavy/light; nervous/relaxed, happy/sad.

In addition, you can rotate the model on the Z axis as well as add lines between the marker points. I also like to make copies of the walk cycle creations for future reference using Cam Studio

CamStudio sucks on my pc. It doesn't record at the assigned framerate.

That'll come in handy for me a lot!

Why is the male/female thing a slider? Is it possible to be sort of male? lol

Because there are differing degrees of masculinity & femininity. Some guys act more feminine, some females act more masculine than average.

Of course, I am 100% masculine...

I consider a males movement to originate from his chest, while a females to originate from her hips when animating. I guess it's just what you want to get across... will be interesting to see what the slider tweaks :)

would be great you could save the motion and import into blender ;)

@claas

yes, and it would be even better to have a walkdesigner integrated in blender (like in poser).
